The 2011 Golden Globes went off without relative hitch last night, a few blocks away in Beverly Hills. I have included all of the film categories with the nominations for each and the movie awards winners highlighted by ***** next to their names. I have included a few of my thoughts on some of the Golden Globes results for the winners and categories below the appropriate section. Let me know your thoughts and whether you agree or disagree with the outcomes.

Cecil B. DeMille Award

Robert De Niro*****

Totally shocked that DeNiro won here. Wow.

Best Motion Picture – Drama

Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The King’s Speech
The Social Network*****

If you read regularly, you know that I feel that Inception is the finest film of the year, and it’s not that close. With the speculation leading up to the awards though, it’s not a surprise that Fincher’s film won. It’s a quality entertainment that I have only seen once, so I look forward to seeing it again in the next few weeks.

I figured this was likely between Leo and Adams and not entirely surprised by the outcome. Leo transformed herself into the role, with pursed lips throughout. I was wondering whether it was a substantial enough role to win, but it turns out it was. I still think this could be a contested category come Oscar time.

Here is the first movie photo of Andrew Garfield in his full new Spider-Man costume from the upcoming Marc Webb directed, Sony Pictures film. You do know that he was cast in this film franchise reboot, right? On the surface, it appears to be a little darker than the one Tobey wore for three films, but all in all, not bad. Here’s the actor pic, thanks to /film for the heads up.

The Dark Knight Rises, aka Batman 3, and likely director Christopher Nolan (Inception) last entry in his Batman trilogy, is clearly one of the hottest commodities in Hollywood. We speculated on some of the actress names that were being attached as having interest in the project a while back, but now, via THR, is a list that is supposedly confirmed for who are up for some roles. Some different names from the original list, and some hot names just the same.

According to the report, the list includes Jessica Biel, the rising star of Kate Mara, Charlotte Riley (who I am not familiar with) and Gemma Arterton, though the report says she might be out of the running due to other conflicts. The two other previously reported names, Anne Hathaway and Keira Knightley (Never Let Me Go) are also listed as in the running.

My thoughts? Depending on the roles, Biel would be a great choice (especially if in a villanous role). Mara is proving more versatile as I see her more, and Hathaway is in a non-leading role (ala a reporter in Spider-Man), I could work with. Knightley can be good as well, in a similar capacity. A little disappointed that Lively is not being mentioned, as she proved her worth in The Town. Still, pretty good names under consideration overall. Your thoughts? Dive in and share.

Here is the footage that remains from director Quentin Tarantino’s first film, My Best Friend’s Birthday. According to reports, there are 36 minutes of film, shot on 16mm, that remain from the film after much of it was destroyed. This footage features some quintessential Tarantino moments.

QT only co-wrote this piece of work, but fans should recognize stylistic and dialogue elements that were, no surprisingly, evident back before the days of Inglourious Basterds, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. It is black and white footage, but would have made a great extra on any of Tarantino’s DVD extras I think. Too bad some of the film was damaged. Still, check it out for yourself and let me know what you think. Thanks to Movieline and /film for the drop.
